Chapter 391 Russell: Yes, I am a socialite

Leon's words immediately aroused Charlotte's dissatisfaction. She frowned and said, "As far as I know, the Russian empress is also at the palace level, right?"

"And there's not much difference between those Slavs and bandits."

What Her Royal Highness meant was simply that she was worried that asking for support from Tsarist Russia would ultimately cost the whole of Great Britain.

After all, to be honest, Tsarist Russia was neither close nor far from them, and was not as far away as the Indo-American Federation.

However, Leon ignored Charlotte's words and just looked at George VII: "If your majesty still has doubts, you can actually consider Ming Dynasty."

"After all, the Ming Dynasty is very far away from us, and there is no palace-level strongman in charge now. I believe that as long as the right price is paid, they should be willing to take action."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the princes and princesses present changed immediately.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so of course they know what Leon is planning.

But Lyon didn't care what his brothers and sisters thought. After all, the real decision was made by George VII.

Looking at the men and women in front of him with different expressions, a hint of disappointment flashed in George VII's eyes.

Asking for help from the outside world is ultimately a bad idea. No matter how nicely Charlotte and Leon say it, Great Britain's autonomy will be greatly reduced after this incident.

But is there any other way now?

Unless Great Britain produces another master right away, it will eventually have to go down this path.

After weighing the pros and cons, even though George VII knew that he had his own plans for Lyon, he also knew that Ming Dynasty was a good choice.

After a moment of silence, the King said to Leon in an emotionless voice: "Leon, go contact Daming first and listen to their conditions."

Hearing this, Leon became uncontrollably excited, while in contrast, the faces of the other princes and princesses present gradually became gloomy.

But then, Lyon was poured a bucket of cold water.

King George VII turned his gaze to Charlotte and continued, “Charlotte, you should also contact the Indo-American Federation.”

His Majesty the King of Great Britain certainly would not put all his eggs in one basket.

Even though he once became a king through his own strength, he still understood the simplest way of checks and balances.

As for Adley, his attitude is very ambiguous.
That doesn't matter.

……

Ming dynasty.

The four master card makers led by Russell were looking at the message in their hands with strange expressions.

After a moment of silence, Bai Yueming teased his disciple with a smile: "Xiao Luo."

"If you were in the Ming Dynasty, you would definitely be considered to have made great contributions in expanding the territory."

"How about it? Do you want us to make you a prince of a different surname?"

Hearing this, Russell couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He didn't expect that the conversation he had with Lyon on Ye Zhou would actually become a reality, and Great Britain would really come to seek help from Ming Dynasty.

He even specifically asked him to go to Great Britain in person to discuss the relevant matters.

"Teacher, please stop mocking me." Russell shook his head and then became serious. "Great Britain will not agree to become our vassal state."

"The most I can do is give you some material in return."

As a country with master-level strongmen, although Great Britain is far less powerful than Tsarist Russia and the Indo-American Federation, it is impossible for it to surrender to the Ming Dynasty as easily as Goryeo.

You have to know that if you become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, it is not enough to just pay tribute every year like before the secret realm appeared. You can even bring back a lot of rewards from the Ming Dynasty.

In the current state of affairs, if Great Britain truly became a vassal state, it would be helpless and could only allow the Ming Dynasty to take whatever it wanted.

Bai Yueming naturally understood the reason behind this, he was just joking just now.

The old man shook his head slightly, and then said, "It would be good to have more materials. Anyway, it's just a master-level secret realm, so it shouldn't cause any trouble to you, Xiao Luo."

"But whether you go or not depends on your own opinion, Xiao Luo. If you don't want to go, then forget it."

By now, everyone in the Ming Dynasty has reached a consensus that Russell is not capable of defeating a master-level demon.

This is the value of the hook.

At this time, Fang Wenlong, who was standing aside, seemed to want to dispel Russell's concerns, and suddenly said, "Xiao Luo, if you care about Daming after you leave, then you don't have to worry too much."

"Lady Adele has contacted us in the past two days. The Ming Dynasty and the Secret Realm of the Rebels have basically reached a consensus."

The secret realm of the rebels is the secret realm where Adele is.

If what Fang Wenlong said is true, then the Ming Dynasty is not as stretched as before.

After all, there are four masters in the secret realm of the rebels, not to mention the super-standard existence of Adele. Even if she is not in good condition now, she is not someone that an ordinary master can mess with.

Hearing what the two said, Russell couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

For him, it didn't make much difference whether he went or not. After all, after having his own card-making space, he was not so strict about the nature of the materials. If he wanted to be safe, he had better not go to Great Britain alone.

But is there really enough time for him to develop steadily now?
Thinking of his conversation with the Blue Star World Consciousness some time ago, Russell couldn't help but sigh silently.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh and made a decision: "I'll go. After all, Great Britain gave us face at Ye Diantang's funeral before."

"And they have survived for so long, so they must have some good stuff."

Although the current King George VII of Great Britain is a master-level master, this does not mean that they have not produced hall-level powerhouses before.

The reason why it has become like this now is just because of the lack of successors.

It would be better to say that if the freak Russell had not appeared in the Ming Dynasty, its fate today would not be much better than that of Great Britain.

Seeing him make the decision, Bai Yueming and the other two looked at each other and decided to end the topic.

"In that case, we will send a letter to Great Britain to inform you, and we will also prepare the necessary ceremonial equipment for you."

Although Russell is going to be a mercenary, he must have the necessary entourage, so as not to lose the demeanor of the Ming Dynasty.

Russell didn't have any thoughts about these, but since Bai Yueming and the others said so, he wouldn't object.

Therefore, he just replied indifferently: "Just help me arrange it."

After talking about Great Britain, Ji Weirui took the opportunity of the presence of the only four master card makers in the Ming Dynasty to talk about another matter: "We have basically negotiated with Tsarist Russia about the division of those places in the north."

"It's time to arrange for some people to immigrate there."

This "Mountain Lord" was referring to the area previously occupied by the demon army. These days she has been busy arguing with Tsarist Russia over how to divide the territory.

Although the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Tsarist Russia is very close now, it is better to settle accounts clearly between brothers when it comes to such major interests.

Of course, Russell could also choose to sell his goods to Tsarist Russia, so that they might be willing to give more profits to the Ming Dynasty.

After all, according to unofficial historical records, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty became the founding emperor by selling ditches (x).

After the deal was reached, the frozen land that was once ruled by demons naturally needed to restore its vitality.

However, due to the extremely harsh environment, I am afraid that not many people would be willing to immigrate there.

However, Ji Weirui had already made arrangements for this: "First, let the civil card builders in the Northern Defense Army build the city, and then directly assign jobs and housing to the people who are willing to immigrate there. When their children reach the age to make cards, the association will give them an additional set of black iron-level materials."

Due to the fall of the imperial court, the Ming Card Makers Association is no longer as stingy as before. For students who meet the mental strength requirements, the association will issue a batch of free Black Iron-level materials for them to try. If they successfully make cards that meet the requirements, they can directly become card makers of the association.

But if you fail, then if you want to try again, you can only spend your own money to buy the materials.

The reason for doing this is, firstly, to prevent people without talent from wasting materials, and secondly, the Ming Dynasty is not rich enough to squander materials at will.

The price of a set of Black Iron-grade materials is not low, otherwise Russell would not have used online loans to make cards when he first came to this world.

Even though the price has dropped a little after the fall of the imperial court, it still requires an average family's savings of several years.

Thinking of this, Russell had no objection to Ji Weirui's arrangement: "Master Ji, just do it yourself."

After saying this, he turned his head to look at Bai Yueming and asked seriously, "By the way, teacher, has there been any unusual movement from Mughal recently?"

Thinking back to the eccentric [Golden Embryo], a trace of gloom flashed across Russell's eyes.

During this period, the Mughal Empire had been peaceful and the friction between it and the Ming Dynasty had been reduced a lot, which made the young man wonder for a while whether these Indians were planning something big.

In response to his question, Bai Yueming first recalled the recent intelligence about the Mughals, and then said uncertainly: "It seems that a lot of secret realms have appeared over there."

"As for whether there are any palace-level secret realms, I'm not sure, but I think there shouldn't be any."

Hearing this, Russell's eyes flickered.

Palace-level secret realms are indeed rare, and he only knows three of them now.

The Four Evil Gods, Antarctica, and the one that had been successfully suppressed by Ye Zhou.

But it is impossible that [World-Devouring Disaster] has only three palace-level secret realms under his command. After all, there are four palace-level card makers on Blue Star alone.

[White Crown] Adly, [Golden Embryo] Ferris, [Empress] Catherine, [Near God] Louis XXIV.

If we include [Yongguang] Ye Zhou who died not long ago, there are a total of five palace-level powerhouses on Blue Star.

The number of powerful warriors under the command of [World-Devouring Disaster] is obviously much greater than this, otherwise he would not be able to gain the upper hand in the battle with the Blue Star world consciousness.

After a brief silence, Russell let out a sigh and said, "That's it."

"Then just ignore them for now and wait until the matter in Great Britain is over."

After hearing his words, Bai Yueming and the other two nodded and said, "Let's follow your arrangement, Xiao Luo."

"And with Lady Adele here, nothing serious should go wrong."

Hearing the name of his own kind, Russell couldn't help but feel relieved.

With her around, there shouldn't be any problems, and he can go to Great Britain without worry.
